Right, I understood that was the crux of your energy for your point, but his statement that their "record is #1 again" was clearly backed up by the evidence you posted.

Like I said, it's all great and awesome to call someone out on a lie, but if it's done in a such a fast and loose way like you did (and with obvious attention to research) that it gives credence to the "lie", then it only undermines your own argument and should be called out. Sorry to be a stickler.

but his statement that their "record is #1 again" was clearly backed up by the evidence you posted.

My point is, they way he was trying to saying this "record is #1 again" is as if it's either climbed back up to #1, or the boycotting, "fostered by the Bush Administration," had no effect. That was his point. And as I posted earlier on this thread, liberals will take one grain of sand for their "truth," exaggerate that grain, blow it out of proportion, and use that as the premise of their whole argument.

Ferrell's premise was that the Dixie Chicks are either rebounding or unscathed, where this is clearly false, proven by the fact that every single chart I posted either did not have their names on it, or they've sunk off the charts, or there was a huge drop. Meanwhile, folks like Darryl Worley and Toby Keith have rocketed to the top, remained at the top, have more than one song at the top, etc. Ferrell attempted to deceive about how well the Dixie Chicks are doing, inspite of "hate radio" and the evil Bush Administration. Those who can use their brains see through his b.s.

"What's the point of me saying anything right now . . . Farrell said . . . we'll be heard from when it's appropriate and in the manner that is appropriate."

Oh, I'm sure. No doubt when they can maximize the effective amount of aid and comfort they give to the enemy (Kim Jung Il, say), and do the most damage to the country.

Dude, I got it, really I did. But your evidence clearly gave truth to his statement "their record is #1 again." Challenge him on misconstruing or misinterpretting why it's "#1 again" fine, but you didn't do that. You called his statement ("#1 again") a lie, which is wasn't, as evidenced by your own data! And I pointed that out. That's all.

Sad how California has been inundated with liberal sham empty-heads who were high school or college drop-outs who now think their pretending

Actually I could care less what these people do, as I don't support them with my money. That's why I generally don't hang around and gawk at these types of threads.

The big problem is is that California is so damn nice, and the climate is perfect, that it attracks a lot of people, including some of the best...And unfortunately some of the worst, including Gray Davis and Barbra Boxer, both from New York. Fortuanetely, both these communist will be returning home in the not too distant future.

Georgia Clooney from Lexington,Kentucky .......

Matt Damon Born from Cambridge, Massachusetts .......

Janeane Garofolo from Newton New Jersey .......

Ethan Hawke from Austin Texas .......

Susan Sarandon from Jackson Heights, New York.......

Martin Sheen from Dayton OHIO.......

Barbra Streisand from Brooklin New York .......

Uma Thurman. from Boston Massachusetts.......

"An illegal war is an illegal war no matter what the result. We'll never know now what could have been achieved through peaceful means."

Coming from someone who supported the Kosovo campaign. Farrell is one of the absolute biggest hypocrites of the so-called anti-war movement.

Garafalo's condition for apology was specific -- if Iraqi's cheered troops in the streets, she would apologize to Bush. And, this is exactly what happened. However, now Garafalo is saying, "I'm not going to apologize because the war isn't going well".

Well, honey, that's not what your apology was based on. Your basis for apology was specific to whether or not people would be thanking U.S./British led forces and cheering in the streets. O'Reilly said it would happen -- you said it wouldn't.

What say you?

Mike Farrell:"What's the point of me saying anything right now, while they're in the end zone doing the dance and spiking the football?"

Item one: How about "We were wrong"?

Item two: So sorry about your cancelled TV series, Mikey--NOT!!!!!!

I do not happen to watch regular television very much.

I do like to keep informed about the Media so I do view (don't hit me) Peter Jennings as often as possible.

I am going to keep my eyes open concerning the television networks which employ these subversives.

I will indeed let the sponsors of those programs know my intention to never purchase their products, and I will work diligently to have their products boycotted.
